Noctis

The brief

Shift workers sleep at strange hours, and most sleep apps assume a nine-to-five day. Noctis wanted a product that adapts to rotating schedules without making people do maths.

The approach

We interviewed nurses, pilots and warehouse teams, then designed around three moments: winding down, waking up and the drive home. Every screen works one-handed, in the dark, with big type and no bright whites.

The result

Noctis launched in Germany and the Netherlands and reached 120,000 installs in its first year, with a 4.8 rating and a design system the in-house team still extends.
